The story is all about a girls rediculous insecurities. It really got boring. The family dynamics the only part that is interesting.

Juvenile. From the characters, their insane personal conflicts, to the writing, just bad.
|

It was hard to read because of Becca and her self esteem issues.

Boook #1
This is the first book that I have read from this Author.
I gave this book 5 stars.
This is Becca and Tyler's story.
Becca is a beautiful young lady, who has basically been put down her whole life from her family to her friends. She thinks she is fat, and ugly and not worthy of being with anyone. Her mom is always telling her how she needs to eat less, and how she will never be a size 2 but she needs to be better. Now Becca is only a size 8 to start with and once she decides to cut out all potatoes and junk food and basically anything that is not a vegetable or meat she goes down to a size 4, but she is still feeling like she is ugly and is way more comfortable in a six. Now you may say really? A size 8? I would kill to be a size 8, but society has made it so that we are not comfortable in our own skin, this was a big issue for the writer to write about, so many times we get caught up in what we think others should think, and we are never happy with ourselves.
Becca has a boyfriend named Connor who she has been dating for quite awhile, that is until she finds him in her bed with her best friend Ashlynn. Ashlynn always wants everything that Becca has, and she didn't stop at the boyfriend either. She continues through out the book trying to trump Becca every chance she gets. Becca is a very passive, timid woman, and to a point that is good, but I think she is this way because everyone is always saying something about her weight, Ashlynn is always pointing it out right along with her mom, you shouldn't eat that, or it's ok that your not a size 2.
Becca broke my heart, she so wants to just be loved, for who she is, that she doesn't even love herself. She is constantly trying to make herself better, She needs to learn to love herself, or she is never going to ever be happy.
She graduates from college and moves in with her other bestfriend Jamie and she decides she is just going to have fun and sleeps around with a whole bunch of guys they meet at bars. She finally lands a job back home and moves back. She has a beautiful condo that her parents set up for her, and she is not happy with the fact that she is home and under their thumb once again, she wants to be able to do this on her own. But again Becca is timid and doesn't like to cause waves so she stays quiet.
At her new job she meets Tyler and he is the bosses son, he runs the company with his dad and two brothers, now Tyler has his own issues and those issues cause him to want to keep her a secret, and not because of the way she thinks, she thinks it's because she is not perfect and that she is no way good enough for him, but they have to learn to deal with these things together, and both of them are very hard to get to open up, so while she thinks she is not good enough, and that she is fat and frumpy. Tyler is not like that, he loves the way she looks, and doesn't have issues with any of that.
The book continues to deal with Tyler and Becca's relationship and their issues, but is this going to tear them apart? Someone with all the issues that Becca has can she put up with being a secret and if she does for how long?
This book really spoke to me, maybe because I related to it so well, I found Becca to be a beautiful woman with some major issues, I do believe that Tyler can help her face some of her fears, and that he will help bring out that feistyness that she is missing. AND it is there. She just has to be willing to let it out.
Tyler when he finally told his story my heart broke too, these are two beautiful, damaged souls looking for someone to just love them. And I do believe they have found that in each other.
I loved going on this journey with them, and their story is not over, but their was not a major cliff hanger, which I loved also, it left me wanting more, but I was also satisfied.
Thank you Brooke for a beautiful story, about learning to love yourself, about learning that you might not always be perfect but in someone's eyes they will see you as perfect! And isn't that what we are all looking for ?
I can't wait to read the next book!! <3
Book #2
The story continues and will leave you wanting more and cheering for the heroine more then you did in the first book.
I didn't think that I could like this book better then I did the first one, but Brooke proved me wrong.
I cannot wait to read the final book in this series to see what is going to happen..
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance, a swoon worthy man, and a strong heroine.
You will get everything you wanted all in one book.
Thanks Brooke for a great read! <3

I really liked Ty and Becs story! I would highly recommend!!

I enjoyed this as it was well written without a lot of misspelled words and phrases. A lot of things that happened in the book has happened to me in real life. Getting stabbed in the back is no fun aka - Ashlyn, Becca waited to long to get back at her.
I think you will enjoy this book.

I wasn't to crazy about the book. It kinda seemed like it dragged on half way through the book. The ending left me with too many questions and not exactly wanting to buy the second book to figure out the answers.

I am so glad I read this trilogy. I absolutely loved it. It's fun and exciting and suspenseful. At times I cried to the point the sadness ached in my heart. Tyler and Becca are so meant to be together. Their chemistry is off the charts hot! Becca's insecurities in the begining are so out of control they almost ruin her life. They both love each other madly and even though they go through a very dificult times their love will never be over looked or pushed aside. Between her mother and his It's a wonder they've lasted. Lol. I highly recommende this trilogy to everyone!
